A new image from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope reveals nearly 2,300 stars with planet-forming disks in the Orion cloud complex, a collection of turbulent star-forming clouds that includes the well-known Orion nebula.

Robinson, STS-114 mission specialist, anchored to a foot restraint on the International Space Station’s Canadarm2, participates in the mission’s third session of extravehicular activity (EVA). The blackness of space and Earth’s horizon form the backdrop for the image. Credit: NASA





Planet Earth





The colourful region surrounding the bright triple star; Rho Ophiuchus. The area is highlighted by the bright star Antares, a red supergiant 40,000 times more luminous than our sun. The star is immense. So large that if it were placed at the centre of our solar system, its edge would stretch almost to the planet Jupiter. The colourful clouds surrounding Rho Ophiuchus represents the visible counterpart of a much larger but invisible molecular cloud permeating the region and known as the Ophiuchus cloud. This giant cloud is one of the nearest regions of star formation in the local Milky Way at a distance of about 520 light years.

Thousands of young stars within the giant nebula NGC 3603, one of the most massive star clusters in our galaxy. Located 20,000 light-years away, NGC 3603 is a prominent star-forming region in the Carina spiral arm of the Milky Way. Powerful ultraviolet radiation and fast winds from the bluest and hottest stars have created a bubble around the cluster. Moving into the surrounding nebula, this torrent of radiation sculpted the tall, dark stalks of dense gas a few light-years tall which act as incubators for new stars. The nebula was first discovered by Sir John Herschel in 1834.

This is a nice view of the Roselle Nevula imaged by "MegaPrime" at the CFH Telescope in Hawaii.

Following on from KJ & Tom's excellent launch shots, here are some inflight images from Discovery's Christmas mission. Astronaut Robert L.Curbeam, Jr. prepares to replace a faulty TV camera on the exterior of the International Space Station during the STS-116 mission's first of three EVA's




Great detail of this small comet taken from the Kitt Peak National Observatory.
